Download RStudio Server v1.1.463

RStudio Server enables you to provide a browser based interface to a version of R running on a remote Linux server, bringing the power and productivity of the RStudio IDE to server-based deployments of R.

NOTE: if you do not add the CRAN Debian or Ubuntu repository as described above this command will install the version of R corresponding to your current system version. Since this version of R may be a year or two old it is strongly recommended that you add the CRAN repositories so you can run the most up to date version of R.

Debian 8 / Ubuntu

To download and install RStudio Server open a terminal window and execute the following commands (corresponding to the 32 or 64-bit version as appropriate). Note that the gdebi-core package is installed first so that gdebi can be used to install RStudio and all of its dependencies.

Note that the binaries linked to from this page have one additional requirement that isn’t satisfied using the default repositories. Before installing R you should install the libgfortran43 package. This package is available from the SUSE Linux Enterprise SDK. If the SDK repository is available in your environment you can install libgfortran43 as follows:

$ sudo zypper install libgfortran43

Download and Install

If your SUSE installation requires packages to be signed, first import RStudio’s code signing certificate. Then, to download and install RStudio Server, open a terminal window and execute the commands corresponding to the 32 or 64-bit version as appropriate.

Next Steps

To install RStudio on other platforms you will need to build and install from source. Note that while it is likely that RStudio will correctly compile and install on your target platform the only platforms currently tested and certified are Debian, Ubuntu, and RedHat/CentOS.

The INSTALL file within the source distribution contains additional instructions on how to build and install from source. After successfully performing a make install you should also be sure to install the additional scripts and configuration files found within the src/server/extras directory (the INSTALL file describes these extras in more detail).
